She is greatly influenced by her international background, cultural sensitivities and her education in both Art History and Painting. She has taught Art History and Visual Arts and has been exhibiting in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas for over 30 years. She currently works at Auckland Art Gallery and the Naval Museum in Auckland Tamaki Makaurau.

Yeonjae Choi is a Auckland Tamaki Makaurau based ceramic artist. Yeonjae has been working with clay since 2015. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from RMIT University in Melbourne before moving back to her hometown. Her works are a study in the relationship between interior and exterior of the vessel and she takes inspiration from her Korean heritage to inform her ideas. Yeonjae’s works have been displayed at the Pah Homestead and acquired by the Wallace Arts Trust. She also finds joy in teaching kids ceramics in local art centres.
